Why Sarah Michelle Gellar Wants Maya Hawke to Help Out Her Teenage Daughter (Exclusive)
Sarah Michelle Gellar is sharing why she taps Maya Hawke to help her teen daughter Charlotte. The Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, 48, opened up about the subject while chatting exclusively with Parade amid their partnership with the Ask2BSure campaign, which aims to help parents and their kids further understand the increased risk for meningitis among teens and young adults. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 When Gellar was asked if Charlotte, 15, will follow her footsteps into acting, the Cruel Intentions alum says she uses Hawke — whose parents are actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman — as an example. The pair became close friends after starring in Netflix's Do Revenge together in 2022. 'There's no question, but we've told her she has to wait til she graduates high school, and then she can make decisions about what she wants to do once she's finished school,' Gellar begins. 'It's hard, when it's both your parents jobs, to tell your kids, 'No, you can't do that,' or 'No, you shouldn't do that.' But at the same time, I think there's a different pressure on them, and I think that it's better for them to be fully formed people to be able to face that pressure.' She continues: 'I look at Maya Hawke. [She's] always my example. And I've actually had Maya talk to Charlotte about why it's better to go to sets, sit on sets. I let Charlotte work on sets behind the scenes so she can soak it all in and learn it, but wait a little bit because there's a different pressure, I think, in that situation.' Reiterating why she enlists Hawke, 26, to keep an open dialogue with Charlotte, Gellar jokes: 'Maya's way cooler than me.' As for Gellar and fellow Buffy co-star Alyson Hannigan's partnership with the Ask2BSure campaign, the pair tell Parade that it was important for them — especially as mothers to teenagers — to get the word out about making sure their kids are vaccinated against the five disease-causing types of meningitis, including A, B, C, W and Y, all of which can lead to death or severe lifelong complications. While many teens and young adults receive vaccinations to help protect against groups A, C, W and Y, most may still be missing a vaccination for meningitis B. Ages 16 to 23 are at higher risk for contracting meningitis B through common behaviors like living in close quarters, kissing, sharing drinks and more.

'I learned so much when I talked to my kids' pediatrician, and so much I didn't know. And I thought I was on top of everything. I learned so much, and so we're just encouraging parents to go ask their doctor.' Gellar adds: 'When Alyson was first doing the campaign, I was like, 'Oh yeah, my kids were vaccinated for meningitis,' and then you would go, 'Oh, wait, there's this other strain of it that is not part of the original vaccination series,' and that is really easy to slip through the cracks. And because it hits the ages between 16 to 23, which are the most vulnerable — which is exactly where our kids are — it can tailspin you.'

Ryan Phillippe says his young ‘Motorheads' co-stars make him feel like Yoda: ‘Very aware of my age!'
From teenage dream to wise sage. Ryan Phillippe is taking the same journey that actors such as Luke Perry took earlier: he rose to fame in 'teen idol' type roles, and now he's playing a parent figure. 'I think having three kids of varied ages and having been a father for a long time, that's a natural space for me,' Phillippe, 50, told The Post about his new teen drama, 'Motorheads.' But, he added, for his iconic role in 1999's 'Cruel Intentions,' he finds it 'crazy' that 'that film still has new fans today, and that it holds up the way that it has.' 'It's also crazy that they're now remaking so much of the stuff that I've been in – that makes me very aware of my age!' 8 Ryan Phillippe in 'Motorheads.' ©Amazon/Courtesy Everett Collection 8 Sarah Michelle Gellar passed out on top of Ryan Phillippe in a scene from the film 'Cruel Intentions,' 1999. Getty Images 8 Ryan Phillippe stars in new series 'Motorheads.' He shares son Deacon, 21, with his ex-wife, Reese Witherspoon, 49, whom he was married to from 1999 to 2008. They also share daughter Ava, 25. (He has a third child, daughter Kai, 13, with his ex, 'Pitch Perfect' actress Alexis Knapp.) 'Motorheads' (premiering May 20 on Prime Video) follows high schoolers Zac (Michael Cimino) and Caitlyn (Melissa Collazo), who move with their mom (Nathalie Kelley) back to her Rust Belt hometown, where there's a thriving street race scene. They're close with their uncle, Logan (Phillippe), a former NASCAR mechanic who now struggles to keep an auto body shop afloat. 8 Ryan Phillippe arrives at the Los Angeles Special Screening Of Amazon Prime Video's 'Motorheads' Season 1 held at the Ted Mann Theater at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, California, May 14, 2025. Image Press Agency/NurPhoto/Shutterstock Deacon plays Logan's brother, Christian, in flashbacks, as he vanished under mysterious circumstances 17 years ago. 'It's like, at one point, I was like these early 20-somethings on this set. And it's funny how watching them interact and hearing them talk about the industry and their careers really does take me back to that time,' Ryan recalled to The Post. The 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' star added, 'But I also think that I'm at a place in my life where [I'm] able to share some of my experience, and be very open about what that has been like – the good and the bad – to kind of steer them in the right direction, or be a source of advice or a mentor.' 8 Melissa Collazo, Michael Cimino, Nicolas Cantu in 'Motorheads.' ©Amazon/Courtesy Everett Collection He quipped, 'But yeah, I felt a little bit like Yoda sometimes on set.' Ryan's co-stars would often ask him 'about the old days of movie making, and what it used to be like.' 'Some of them are afraid of being replaced by AI,' he explained. 'And I'm telling them that that's probably not an issue for me – because I will already be face down by the time that happens.' In his Instagram post about 'Motorheads,' Ryan joked that he does not 'die in this one.' 8 Ryan Philippe in 'Motorheads.' ©Amazon/Courtesy Everett Collection His characters in previous high-profile roles, such as 'Cruel Intentions,' 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' and 'Big Sky,' have all been killed off. '[For 'Big Sky'] they put me all over the key art and the billboards, and then I died in the first episode. So I had a lot of people that were very angry with me about that,' he recalled. 'A lot of friends or fans were like, 'oh, we're going to watch this show and you die in the first episode!'' 'Now, I have to assure anyone when I'm in a project that I'm going to be in more than one episode.' Since his 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' character died, he won't be part of the 2025 sequel. He also wasn't in Prime Video's now cancelled revival of 'Cruel Intentions.' 8 Nathalie Kelley and Ryan Phillippe in 'Motorheads.' ©Amazon/Courtesy Everett Collection 8 Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe and Jennifer Love Hewitt in 'I Know What You Did Last Summer.' ©Columbia Pictures/Courtesy Everett Collection 'It does and doesn't seem that long ago. It's interesting – there's parts of me that remember it like yesterday, and then there's another part of me that feels like it was someone else's life altogether,' he said. 'You're just happy that those things endure, and that people still care about the work that you did, in any capacity.' While filming 'Cruel Intentions,' he said he had no inkling that it would become a cult classic. 'I did have this hope of being in some sort of seminal team movie, because of the ones that I grew up watching, like the John Hughes movies, 'Pretty in Pink' and 'The Breakfast Club.' And so I think there was a hope of mine that I would be in something like that,' he went on. 'But when you're making it, you have no concept of it.'

Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane, 52, steps out with actress, 27, after calling off divorce following ALS diagnosis
Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane was pictured stepping out with actress Priya Jain in Los Angeles on Wednesday, weeks after revealing his shocking ALS diagnosis. The actor, 52, and the Not Without Hope star, 27, were seen taking a stroll together, just a month after Dane's estranged wife Rebecca Gayheart, 53, called off their divorce, after a seven year split. During Wednesday's outing Dane — who's been romantically linked to the younger beauty since November — sported a black t-shirt, matching pants and shielded his eyes with a pair of sunglasses. The actor — affectionately nicknamed 'McSteamy' by fans — sported his signature silver hair and a matching goatee. Meanwhile Priya showed a glimpse at her taut midriff in a violet tank top which she paired with blue jeans and an oversized white and black cardigan. has reached out to Dane's representatives for comment. Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane, 52, was pictured stepping out with actress Priya Jain, 27, in Los Angeles on Wednesday, after revealing his shocking ALS diagnosis The two were previously spotted on a romantic date night in January. They were seen strolling arm-in-arm with Jain during the lowkey excursion together. The pair first sparked relationship rumors when they were seen at a celebrity sushi spot in West Hollywood last year in November 2024. The two stars held big smiles on their faces as they left the popular eatery and headed to their next destination. While Eric and Priya have been spotted on a few occasions, they have yet to publicly comment on their budding romance. Priya has starred in a number of projects in the industry, including the TV movie Cruel Intentions (2016) and the miniseries Knock Out (2023). According to her IMDB page, the beauty has also taken on roles in six upcoming productions, such as the disaster horror film Deep Water with Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley. Jain is also represented by Evolve X Modeling Agency and is the founder and designer of the clothing brand, Naked Lynx. Meanwhile earlier this month Gayheart revealed the truth about the state of her marriage to Dane just one day before news of his devastating ALS diagnoses was announced. Dane confirmed that he's been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which is a rare and incurable degenerative condition that impairs the nervous system over time and causes the muscles to increasingly suffer from paralysis. In a statement, Dane expressed how grateful he is to have his 'loving family by [his] side' as he battles the debilitating condition. Last month, he and wife Gayheart — who share two young daughters — shocked fans by calling off their divorce. And Gayheart recently provided insight into their rekindled relationship as they prepare to grapple with his ailing health as a family. While attending a screening of The Carters: Hurts To Love You, the actress told E! News that she and Dane are still the 'best of friends.' 'We are best of friends. We are really close. We are great coparents,' she said of Dane at the event. 'We really figured out the formula to staying a family and I think our kids are benefiting greatly from it and we are as well,' she added. The actress didn't divulge into specifics about their seven year split, but still she refused to look at that time apart as a 'failure.' 'I think it's important to not look at a relationship that ends as a failure. It's just a season. It wasn't a failure. It was a huge success,' she said. The actress didn't divulge into specifics about their seven year split, but still she refused to look at that time apart as a 'failure'; the couple seen with their girls in 2016 'We were married for, I mean, we are still married, but together for 15 years and we had two beautiful kids so I think that's a successful relationship, and that's how we look at it,' she said. The couple are parents to daughters Billie Beatrice Dane, 15, and Georgia Geraldine Dane, 13. Rebecca and Eric tied the knot in 2004, two years before he landed his fan favorite role as Dr. Mark Sloan aka 'McSteamy' on Grey's Anatomy. They stayed together through the scandal that erupted five years into their marriage when a home video leaked of them frolicking naked with an ex-beauty queen. Six years later in 2017, Eric entered treatment for depression, resulting in a filming pause on his action drama series The Last Ship. The following year, Rebecca filed for divorce on grounds of irreconcilable differences, and the pair agreed on joint custody of their daughters with Eric paying alimony. However, the divorce was never finalized throughout the seven-year split. The actress filed to dismiss the divorce back in early March 2025, though they were both linked to other romantic partners recently. Dane was spotted with Priya back in January, while Gayheart had been linked to Hard Rock Cafe founder Peter Morton, 77. Gayheart was first spotted with Morton back in September 2023, and they were even seen in together in early March 2025 at the Chanel pre-Oscar party, just days before she called off the divorce. Given that the divorce was never finalized over the seven-year split, there were also rumors of reconciliation over the years. Dane publicly announced the shock health news in a heartbreaking statement to PEOPLE. 'I have been diagnosed with ALS,' he said. 'I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.' 'I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week,' said Eric, a longstanding star of the HBO series. 'I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time. ALS has been colloquially known in America as Lou Gehrig's disease ever since it claimed the life of the beloved baseball player in 1941 when he was just 37. About half of ALS patients have a life expectancy of three years after the initial onset of symptoms, though some can survive for decades. Sandra Bullock's longtime love Bryan Randall succumbed to ALS in 2023 after a three-year battle, and SpongeBob Squarepants creator Stephen Hillenburg also died of the condition in 2018 just one year after announcing his diagnosis. Stephen Hawking was another sufferer of ALS, living with the illness for more than half a century before dying at the age of 76 in 2018. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS): Details of fatal disease there is no cure for What is it? Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurogenerative disorder which impacts the nerve cells in the spinal cord and the brain, according to the Mayo Clinic. It gets progressively worse and causes significant muscle control loss in people who have it. Treatment There is no cure for ALS and the disease is fatal, but it progresses at different speeds in patients. Symptoms The first signs of ALS are twitching of the muscles, weaknesses of the limbs and problems with swallowing and speaking. Progressively, it deteriorates muscle control and impacts an individual's ability to breathe, move, speak and eat. ALS symptoms correspond with where nerve cells deteriorate in each person, and could lead to issues walking, tripping, and weakness of the knees, ankles and hands. It can also lead to problems with muscle cramps and twitching in areas including one's tongue, arms and shoulders. People with ALS have experienced untimely spells of laughter, tears and yawns, as well as changes to one's thinking process or behavior, according to the clinic. Risk factors Among the risk factors researchers have established for ALS include genetics, as about 10 percent of people diagnosed with it were passed down a gene from a relative, which is called hereditary ALS, according to the clinic. Kids of people who have hereditary ALS have a 50 percent chance of having the gene. Age is also a factor as the risk of getting the disease trends up toward the age of 75, with the most common range of people who have it between 60 and 85. In terms of gender, men are diagnosed with a higher rate of ALS prior to the age of 65, according to the clinic. Other factors that have been linked to ALS include smoking and exposure to toxic substances. The clinic reported that military personnel have been diagnosed with ALS at a higher rate. Causes There is no known cause of ALS, according to the Mayo Clinic, and heredity plays a factor in a small number of cases. Lou Gehrig's Disease As well as being known as ALS, it is frequently referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease. Lou Gehrig was a stalwart first baseman for the New York Yankees between 1923 and 1939. He was famous for his strength and durability, earning the nickname 'The Iron Horse' with a record-setting streak of 2,130 consecutive games. In a July 4, 1939 speech on Lou Gehrig Appreciation Day at Yankee Stadium, the ballplayer famously said, 'For the past two weeks you have been reading about a bad break. Yet today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth.' His popularity and fame transcended the sport of baseball. He died two years after his diagnosis on June 2, 1941.
